We had a lot of fun on the segways. The guides gave us a lot of fun, anecdotal info about some of the sites that we hadn't heard before, and we were able to zoom around town a lot faster than we had on foot! The segways are very easy to get used to using, and the guides gave us plenty of time to practice on them before we headed out. We had a nice small group and found that taking a weekend tour allowed us to get around town easier...less foot and car traffic. |

I thought I would fall off and wouldn't be able to balance, but with a few instructions, we took off! I haven't had this much fun in ages and recommend it to anyone who has a tough time walking around seeing the monuments. The narration by the guys was very good and informative. Even things I didn't know after living for 5 years in the D.C. area. |

Excellent equipment, easy to learn to use. Strong and invaluable input from guides with new insights on DC even for us who had visited the city many times. |

This is an awesome way to see the DC sites. Couldn't have been more pleased with the tour. Had loads of fun on the Segway. Didn't want the tour to end. Will, our tour guide, was super informative and very fun. Will do this again on my next trip to DC. |

The DC Segway tour is number one on my list. I would highly recommend it to family and friends. When we return to DC we will take it again. Our tour guide Adam was great. |

I have lived near DC my whole life, but I learned a lot of new things from the guide. It was a fast paced and fun-filled tour. Makes me want to own a Segway! |

We enjoyed our evening tour very much.
It was cooler at night, the sidewalks were less
congested, and the monuments were impressive
lit up at night. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
Lots of fun! |

My wife (50), daughter (18), son (21) and I (50) took the tour. All of us were very comfortable with equipment within 5 min. My son had been very reluctant about this "touristy" activity, but now takes back all his pre-conceived notions as this was the best thing he experienced after living in DC for 2 months. Forget the sights - my kids & I were just having fun riding around, circling, swerving around the trees, doing some off roading on the grass. Other tourist called out to us "That looks like fun", to which I responded "It's really easy and SO COOL!" My son & I wish we had water guns, but probably a good thing we didn't :) Later, as we walked some of the same areas around the capital, it seemed SO MUCH FURTHER than on the Segway. For all 4 of us, the Segway tour was definately the highlight of our week in DC. 2 hours is too short. I'd have loved a whole day on those things! By the way, the tour guide was very good as well, knowledgable when we listened to the tour, but we were having way too much fun riding around. |
